My WG587 showed up a day early too! Pics & initial review inside

Nice buy. Where is it they're selling these for $99?

They did have them on music123.com, but they're sold out of the red and grey $99 ones. All they have left are black fro $149.

Not sure what you mean by 'not level' but these do have neck tilt so the fretboard does not sit parallel to the body, if that's what you're talking about.

That threw me for a loop at first, I adjusted the bridge way too close to the body initially. Is this a common thing with sevens? I have not seen this in any of my other guitars. The pickups sit parallel with the body, but not the strings; I assume that affects sound, but to what degree? Seems like it needs angled pickup rings or something.

It's a minor thing, tone-wise. As for the angle, it's common in tune-o-matic guitars.

Ah, OK. This is my first guitar with the tune-o-matic style bridge.
